How long does it take for only one eighth of a sample of radon-222 to remain

Chemistry

1/8=(1/2)^3 and the half life of radon is 3.8days

Half life is the time it takes for half of any amount of a radioactive substance to decay into something else.

Therefore for a sample of radon to decay to 1/8 of its original amount, it would take 3 x 3.8days=11.4 days

Which of the following correctly represents the radioactive decay of cesium-137?
Lelu [443]
The decay mode of cesium-137 is beta decay. This means that the cesium-137 decays into a beta particle and a nuclide with the same mass number, but with a charge number that is 1 more than that of cesium.

Therefore, this means Cs-137 decays into an electron and Barium-137, meaning the answer is choice 1.
